Kowalski on WDFN: Nothing will work unless O-line blocks

It might sound crazy, but Lions Insider Tom Kowalski tells WDFN-AM Detroit that he doesn't think the game wasn't as bad as it seemed by the score. It was still relatively close - at 16-3 - going into the fourth quarter. Then Jon Kitna started "chucking it to the other team."

That being said, the alpha and omega is the offensive line, according to the Killer. Mike Martz is being challenged by opposing defenses right now, but most everyone on the team believes in his ability to "scheme his way" out of the problems. However, as is the case with most any offense in football, it's all predicated on the line being able to block with a modicum of success. "It starts with the five guys up front," Kowalski says, "and then the other issues will be addressed. If you can't block four rushers with five guys, then everything else is going to fall apart."
